auspicious time has come

Hengyu barely supported her upper body, and raised her fearless eyes: "Why do I need you to do it, I want to take your life, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, unless you kill me right now."

After a while, Princess Yongyang laughed suddenly: "You are relying on me not wanting to kill you."

She glanced sideways, looked at the wound on her shoulder, and said, "I always treat you more patiently than other people... The cat I raised by myself scratches after being scratched, can I really be willing to strangle it to death?" No?"

Qizhen who heard the movement had already walked in quickly, seeing such a situation, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Highness!"

She saw the wound on Princess Yongyang's shoulder, and also saw the dagger that fell on Hengyu's side.

"It doesn't matter how you pamper me on weekdays, but if a cat scratches someone, you still have to close it for a while to calm down, so as not to run out and cause me other troubles..." Princess Yongyang Looking down at Hengyu from a high position, he told Qizhen, "Someone take this cat down for treatment, so I can keep an eye on it."

Qizhen looked at Hengyu, and after a while, she came down.

Soon, Heng Yu was taken away from here.

Qi Zhen settled her mind and said, "My servant will take a look at the injury for His Highness—"

"It's just a scratch." Princess Yongyang sighed casually: "You didn't see that she just showed her claws at this palace... I never like to give people a chance to reflect, and that is her." I'm so tolerant and partial to her, I just hope she can figure it out as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Qi Zhen stepped forward to check her wound with complicated emotions, but her complexion changed drastically in the next instant.

"...No, it's actually poisonous!"

Princess Yongyang frowned, and looked sideways, only to see signs of blackening around the wound in just a short moment.

Qizhen quickly took out a medicine box from the inner room.

"This poison is quite domineering, this servant girl must immediately gouge out the eroded flesh and blood around the wound for Your Highness, so as not to spread the poison!"

Under the candlelight, as the flesh and blood on the shoulders were gouged out, the room was gradually filled with the smell of blood. Princess Yongyang, who had half undressed, turned pale, and beads of sweat hung on her forehead.

She looked at the dagger beside the screen, and smiled weakly: "This cat is really cruel...it is exactly the same as Ben Gong."

As the powder was sprinkled on the bloody wound, Princess Yongyang frowned in pain and closed her eyes.

When Qizhen was bandaging her wound, she couldn't hold back and said: "Your Highness... Mrs. Heng has a stubborn temperament, and she always has a clear love and hate. Once she decides something, it may not be easy to change..."

"She was chosen by this palace. She is like this today, and I have expected it." Princess Yongyang opened her eyes and said softly: "No matter how hard her bones are, I can beat them one by one. If it is broken, connect her again... One day, she will grow up."

Qi Zhen didn't say any more.

After she dealt with everything, Princess Yongyang confessed: "You go and take a look at her injury yourself, and you must not let her do anything wrong."

"Yes……"

"In addition, let someone go to Ji's house to spread a message." The eldest princess Yongyang leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and said softly: "This palace is now busy with affairs in the palace, so I left Ah Heng here to take care of the affairs of the eldest princess's mansion. , so they don’t have to worry.”

Qi Zhen complied, retreated, and called a few female envoys in to serve, while she went to Heng Yu's place with the medicine box.

In the past, Heng Yu often lived in the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess once ordered someone to tidy up a separate courtyard. The location is quite good, and the furnishings are all arranged according to her preferences.

When Qizhen arrived, the two female envoys guarding the porch hurriedly blessed her, lowered her voice and said embarrassingly, "Aunt Qizhen is here, Madam Heng won't let the maidservants get close... and won't let anyone check on her injuries. "

Qizhen looked into the inner room, frowned slightly, and walked in.

The girl was sitting in front of the arhat's bed by the window, her hair was in a disheveled bun, and there was still blood at the corner of her mouth.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, when those eyes looked over, they were indifferent and alienated.

"The body is my own. If Mrs. Heng is like this, who can she punish?" Qizhen walked over and opened the medicine box skillfully.

Heng Yu looked at her hands, and said slowly: "On the eve of Aunt Xiao's accident, Grandpa Bai once told me that the white spots on your fingers seemed to be corroded by some kind of extremely rare poisonous weed juice—— That's when I found out that Aunt Qizhen is probably a master poisoner."

It was also because of this that she really had some guesses in her mind on the night of Aunt Xiao's accident.

"Grandpa Bai diagnosed Eldest Princess with a different disease before, as if someone had poisoned her. I doubted many people, but I never thought that she actually hurt herself—in order to stay in the capital to recuperate in a legitimate way, to recover from her illness." To win the trust of people inside and outside the palace, in order to make everyone let go of her wariness, she did not hesitate to use poison to mutilate herself, the means are truly incomparable."

Hearing the girl explain everything, Qizhen's eyes fluctuated a little, but she didn't answer.

She took two porcelain bottles and went forward, first asked Heng Yu: "Do you feel any discomfort?"

The girl looked at her, and asked without answering: "The poison used to murder the saint was also produced by Aunt Qizhen, right?"

Qi Zhen pursed her drooping lips, and looked at the girl in front of her: "It seems that it is really inappropriate for Mrs. Heng to leave here..."

Heng Yu withdrew her gaze and looked out of the half-open window: "You can kill me to silence it."

"You know she won't kill you." Qizhen took out a pill: "You hurt your heart, you may have internal injuries, take this medicine first."

However, the girl seemed to have never heard of it, and her gaze did not change. She only asked, "Aunt Qi Zhen, is she also an evil spirit born with no heart or fear? If not, her conscience has been at peace all these years—"

Qizhen's fingers holding the porcelain bottle turned slightly white from exertion.

After a moment of silence, she put down the two medicine bottles: "I can still say these things, it seems that there is no serious problem. The medicinal oil is used externally, and the pill is taken internally. Take one pill in the morning and evening. If you feel unwell, then ask someone to tell me. "

Hengyu didn't respond.

After waiting for a while, Qizhen turned around and left the inner room.

When he was about to leave the outer hall, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain vases falling to the ground and shattering from the room.

Qizhen frowned, looked at the maid who heard the sound, and said, "Go in and clean up, don't let her hurt you, otherwise you will never survive."

The two female envoys responded with pale faces.

When approaching Zi, the lights in the courtyard were turned off.

Under Hengyu's various "troubleshooting", the two female envoys were frightened and frightened, so they had to go outside to guard according to the words.

In the inner room with the lights off, Heng Yu, whose body was in pain like a frame, got up from the couch with a little difficulty.

Although he failed to take that person's life, he finally stayed as he wished.

Through the night outside the window, she looked at this mansion, which was all too familiar to her, with thoughts in her eyes——

Muttering to himself: "...Where will it be?"

……

In the morning of the next day, there was another crimson glow in the capital, and there was a lot of discussion among the people about it. Some people said that it was because Princess Yongyang went to Yongding Temple to pray for blessings in person yesterday. Restoring peace soon—

"The morning glow after the rain in early summer is a common phenomenon, how can it cause such stupid words!"

"Behind this, I'm afraid someone is fueling the flames..."

"You mean, that person in Ganlu Hall... really has the heart to call himself emperor?!"

Under the palace wall, several officials whispered about this matter with different expressions.

"If this is the case, it is even more inappropriate to delay the establishment of a new emperor, otherwise there will be disasters..."

"But now those people have their own motives, and there are people who oppose the candidates who are nominated. If there is such a dispute, when will there be a conclusion?"

"That's because the Ministry of the Central Secretariat has not made a statement yet... If Mr. Jiang decides, I think it will definitely make progress."

"Right now, let's put aside the previous suspicions and worry about the stability of Dasheng...and please follow me to ask Mr. Jiang Ling to discuss this matter!"

……

"The immortal master's way of predicting the celestial phenomena is really like a god." The eldest princess Yongyang, who had just returned to the Ganlu Hall, leaned on the couch, and said with a smile through the bead curtain: "Go to thank the immortal master on behalf of the palace, and then say In the future, there will still be many things in this palace that need the help of immortal masters."

Liu Qian responded respectfully.

Three days later, Princess Yongyang, who was recovering slightly from her injuries, sent Immortal Master Puzhen to the Palace of Ganlu to speak.

During the conversation, Liu Qian walked in and bowed to salute.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Princess Yongyang said in a leisurely tone, "The immortal teacher is not an outsider, so just say whatever you want."

Liu Qian answered "Yes", and then said: "There is a report from the inner supervisor in the meeting hall. It is said that Zhongshu Province proposed to make the king of Huaiyang County the new emperor. At present, many officials have agreed to follow..."

"The king of Huaiyang County...Li Ping." Princess Yongyang laughed: "He is the youngest son of the emperor's brother. He is only 12 years old this year. His biological mother is a lowly palace maid, and he has been raised to be unworthy. I remember that last year when he was ordered to go to the Huaiyang fiefdom, he was still crying and hugging his lowly concubine, mother and concubine, and refused to let go of the carriage."

"Fortunately, the Secretary of State actually thought of making him the new emperor." Princess Yongyang smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Jiang's family wants to support a little puppet with his own hands to deal with me."

"Your Highness, do you need to call all the adults here to discuss countermeasures?" Liu Qian asked carefully.

"No need." Eldest Princess Yongyang leaned on the couch, her tone was casual: "I also think Li Ping is very good, since it's the intention of the Ministry of Education, so it doesn't matter if I fulfill Brother Jiang's family once. "

"After the agreement, it will take ten days at the earliest to prepare for the enthronement ceremony everywhere..." She looked at Immortal Master Puzhen through the bead curtain, and asked with great interest: "If within ten days, it is decided If something happens to Xiao Xinjun, it will be a punishment from the heavens... isn't it?"

Immortal Master Puzhen bowed her head slightly: "God's will is hard to violate."

Princess Yongyang laughed: "Exactly."

……

A few days later, the candidate for the new emperor was decided, and it was Li Ping, the 12-year-old Prince of Huaiyang County.

Under the seemingly settled appearance, dark waves are surging everywhere, but it is becoming more and more difficult to suppress.

At Ji's house in Yankang Square, a servant just came back from Yongyang Princess' mansion.

"How is today? Still haven't seen Ah Heng?" In the flower hall, Yu asked anxiously the servant who was saluting.
